WHY GRANDGUARD
Piano Storage Built Around the Instrument, Not the Extra Square Footage
Pianos contain wood, felt, metal, adhesives, and other materials that respond to changes in temperature and humidity. A more stable storage environment helps protect the instrument during periods when it cannot remain in its usual location.
GrandGuard combines piano-specific preparation, climate-controlled storage, and arranged pickup and return delivery so the instrument remains within a professionally managed storage plan.
01
Climate-Controlled Environment
Storage conditions help protect the instrument from damaging temperature and humidity swings.
02
Piano-Only Handling
Your piano is handled with specialized equipment and methods designed for grand and upright instruments.
03
Professional Preparation
Grand pianos are properly broken down, protected, secured, and kept prepared for storage and future delivery.
04
Flexible Storage Plans
Use storage for a few weeks, several months, or longer depending on your move, renovation, or transition.
HOW IT WORKS
From Your Home to Storage and Back Again
GrandGuard handles the full storage process so the piano is professionally prepared before it goes into storage and ready for a smooth return when the timing is right.

The piano is professionally protected and secured using piano-specific moving equipment.
Storage
Your instrument remains in a climate-controlled storage environment until you're ready for it.
Return Delivery
GrandGuard schedules the final delivery and placement at your home or next destination.
Already planning a move? Storage can be built directly into your moving plan so the piano does not need to be handled more than necessary.

PIANO-ONLY CARE
A piano is not simply
furniture in storage.
The storage plan is built around the instrument, with professional preparation, a climate-controlled environment, and a clear plan for final delivery.
PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION
What Happens Before Your Piano Goes Into Storage
Good storage begins with good preparation. The goal is to protect the piano before it ever reaches the storage space and keep it stable until the next move.
I
Grand Piano Breakdown
Legs, lyre, and other removable components are professionally handled and protected.
II
Protective Wrapping & Padding
The case and components are wrapped and padded for transport and storage.
III
Piano Board / Skid
Grand pianos are secured on appropriate piano-moving equipment for safe handling and storage.
IV
Planned Return Delivery
When you're ready, the piano can move directly from storage to final placement.
KEEP THE MOVE SIMPLE
Pickup, storage, and final delivery can all be handled as one plan.
You do not need to arrange a separate storage company and then find another piano mover later.
​
Tell GrandGuard where the piano is now, when it needs to leave, and where it eventually needs to go. We'll build the storage portion into the move.
WHILE IT’S ALREADY IN OUR CARE
Storage Is the Perfect Time for Cleaning, Detailing & Cabinet Work
If your piano also needs cosmetic care, storage is the perfect time to take care of it before final delivery. Cleaning, detailing, cabinet repairs, finish touch-ups, or refinishing can be completed while the piano is already out of the home, helping avoid another appointment later.
01
Professional Cleaning & Detailing
Interior cleaning, exterior finish care, and hardware polishing can be completed while the piano is already in our care, before it is returned to your home.
02
Cabinet Repairs & Refinishing
While the piano is already out of the home, cabinet damage, scratches, finish touch-ups, and more extensive refinishing can be addressed before final delivery. Tell us what the piano needs and GrandGuard can include the work in the overall plan.
